    The aircon did not work and there was a damp smell in the bathroom.

    The room was beautiful and spacious, comfortable beds and clean.

    Room was fairly basic and could be noisy with other guests particularly if they were gathered in the reception area. Parking could be a problem in peak season.

    The position of the hotel was excellent with plenty of choice for eating and drinking.

    The Wifi was quite weak, my phone couldn't stay connected for more than 1 minute and I had to connect it again each time.

    The hotel is right at the corner of the town square. The location couldn't get any better! Plus, there are some parking spots reserved to the hotel guests. Our room was huge and bright. The terrace of the room was superb, we had a 360° view on the harbour. Breakfast takes place at the "Berta's" restaurant just downstairs and has a buffet of cold food. Hot dishes can be picked from the menu. Boulders beach is reachable by car within 10 minutes.

    Unfortunately the floors were really dirty, we would walk around and get black feet. There is also only one time when cleaners come for room service, we asked them to come back later and they didn't, so unfortunately we had a dirty room. Having said that the receptionist was very apologetic and made sure to bring us water and towels and take away anything we didn't want in the room.

    The staff were amazing, my boyfriend got very sick while we were there and they were very helpful in making us feel looked after. The food from downstairs was amazing, especially the mussel pot, and it was nice to wake up to such a gorgeous view.

    The breakfast served in the restaurant downstairs didn't include hot meal (just fruits and cakes). You should pay for hot breakfast additionally.

    It's a really quite small hotel in the fishermen village. I recommend you to take the water-front room, you'll get the amazing view from the window. Several nice restaurants with seafood are located nearby. The village itself is quiet, safe and calm, without crowds of tourists. Bonus is cute baboons are stranding on the streets. You can walk to Boulders beach or take a car and get the Cape of good hope (20-25 minutes by car).

    Could do with an additional fan instead of aircon only, a cold fridge big enough so that you can store a bottle of wine upright inside, ice, a rechargable batterylight in the bathroom for loadshedding (urgent), and a topsheet for nights too hot for a duvet.

    Seen its best days but made up for it with the loveliest down-to-earth staff and a sublime view. And isn’t that what you’d expect from Simon’s Town - a breathtaking view and tons of oldschool charm and atmosphere?

    Kettle in the room doesn’t automatically turns off, so half of the water got boiled away when we realized that :)

    Nice hotel with harbour view. Many restaurants around the corner. Free parking right in front, but with limited capacity. We stayed just one night and enjoyed the room with the view. With 10-15 minutes walk you can reach Boulders visitor center. Staff were very welcoming!

    Floors could have been cleaner, walking barefoot in bedroom and ended up with dirty feet each time.

    Great hotel at a brilliant price. Large rooms with balcony (watch out for the Baboons!) looking out to harbour. Room was great size, very comfy large bed, fridge, coffee/tea making items. Basic bathroom with lovely shower. Very well located on the harbour front in Simon’s Town. Easy access to high street, restaurants and shops. Welcoming reception team who were friendly and helpful.
